Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved — soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they’re made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain’s 100,000,000,000,000 synapses. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED […]
In an unprecedented undertaking, IBM Research and five leading universities are partnering to create computing systems that are expected to simulate and emulate the brains abilities for sensation, perception, action, interaction and cognition while rivaling its low power consumption and compact size. Science has come a long way in understanding the bodys central nervous system, […]
Han har grundstenarna klara för en dator med egen vilja, och den ska byggas med hjärnan som förebild. Anders Lansner, professor i datalogi vid Stockholms universitet och KTH, har simulerat tankeverksamheten i ett system som motsvarar en tredjedel av en mushjärna i storlek. Efter flera års forskning har Lansner och hans grupp på KTH nått […]
How can you get a computer to solve problems like a brain? How does the brain even solve problems to begin with? Below is an indepth look into FACETS, a groundbreaking consortium of European scientists and engineers that are taking long strides to bridging the gap between your brain and your PC. Give them enough […]
A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years, a leading scientist has claimed. Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain. He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments […]
Reverse-engineer the brain The intersection of engineering and neuroscience promises great advances in health care, manufacturing, and communication For decades, some of engineering’s best minds have focused their thinking skills on how to create thinking machines — computers capable of emulating human intelligence. Why should you reverse-engineer the brain? While some of thinking machines have mastered […]
bakåtkompilering – (reverse engineering) – rekonstruktion av källkoden till ett program genom analys av binärkoden. Eftersom syftet med bakåtkompilering kan vara att stjäla programkod betraktas bakåtkompilering ofta som oetiskt – i USA är det direkt olagligt. Bakåtkompilering kan dock ha legitima syften, till exempel inom testning och utveckling av program för datasäkerhet och virusskydd. Det […]
